Introduction and Policy
1.1. The Network consists of the motorway network in the South East of Scotland including the M8, M9, M80 and M876. It also includes the A1, A7, A68, A702, A985, A977, A876, A6091 and A720 Trunk Roads.
1.2. Winter Service Operations shall allow the safe movement of all road users throughout the Network and minimise disruption to users arising from adverse winter weather (ice and snow). The incidence and severity of winter conditions vary throughout the season and from year to year and hence the deployed resource requirements fluctuate accordingly.
1.3. Amey will deliver a level of Winter Service to deal with the winter conditions normally associated with Central Scotland and the Scottish Borders, with the facility to provide additional resources as required to deal effectively with all winter weather conditions which can be expected to arise. The requirements of Amey are provided in Part 2 of Schedule 7.
1.4. Amey shall provide sufficient resources to ensure that all measures are taken to keep the roads within the contract open to its users at all times and shall prevent snow or ice from remaining on Network in accordance with the requirements of Schedule 7 Part 2.
1.5. Amey has previous experience of successfully managing both Trunk Road and Local Authority Winter Service Operations within the UK, including over 12 years in South West Trunk Roads and North Lanarkshire and South East Trunk Roads in the 2nd Generation Contract. This valuable experience has assisted in shaping this strategy, which details how the Scottish Ministers’ Winter Service requirements will be achieved.
1.6. This Winter Service Plan is of key strategic importance to the successful operation of the Project and its importance will be reflected in the Plan’s ownership by our Winter Service Manager. While our Operating Company Representative has the overall responsibility for the successful delivery of the Plan he will be assisted in all respects by the Winter Service Manager being available to support as required by the prevailing or predicted conditions.

Table 2.1 Spreader Driver Details.
Additionally, every driver will have a basic knowledge of each precautionary treatment route and will be capable of undertaking treatment on that route if necessary.
In the event of severe weather being forecast in the 5 day advance forecast, additional operatives will be put on standby or shift to ensure adequate resources are available to deal with snow conditions. These will be fully trained drivers who are not rostered for that period.
2.4.2. During the winter period detailed rosters will be prepared detailing all staff referred to in
2.4 of this Winter Service Plan. On a weekly basis during the winter period a specific Roster detailing personnel, contact details and specific duty details will be issued to all key staff. This will be distributed electronically and updated on a shared server area each week to ensure key details are constantly kept up to date.
2.5. Call out arrangements 2.5.1. Call out arrangements during normal working hours The WSDO will implement call out procedures by issuing the daily action plan for winter service operations. During the working day (Monday to Friday 08:00 to 17:00) the WSDO will liaise with the Depots directly to arrange any treatments required. Outside this the DOM will mobilise resources to undertake and complete the required treatment.
2.5.2. Call out arrangements outside normal working hours When a decision to carry out treatment outside normal working hours is made by the WSDO, the WSDO will call the DOM who will mobilise the drivers.
2.5.3. Contact arrangements during normal working hours The WSDO will contact the DOM by mobile telephone to instigate action during normal working hours.

2.5.4. Contact arrangements out with normal working hours The WSDO will contact the DOM by mobile telephone to instigate action. In addition there will be a list of direct mobile telephone contact numbers for rostered drivers which will be available to the WSDO if required. Specific contact numbers will be associated with the front line winter service vehicle for each individual route.
2.5.5. Mobilisation times To ensure that the requirement to mobilise and commence unplanned treatment on any given route is within the one hour period, a shift system will operate which will include a day and night shift during snow and prolonged colder conditions.
Outside of this period, operatives will be on stand-by and will be called out by the WSDO contacting the DOM to mobilise when required. Where the 5 day forecast indicates that severe weather is anticipated, operatives will be put onto a 24/7 shift system.
2.6. Communications Equipment
2.6.1 All winter maintenance vehicles will be fitted with ‘hands free’ mobile telephones and an integrated satellite tracking and data recording system. All drivers will be trained in the effective use of the system. Any faults in the system of communication will be reported immediately to the WSDO for his action. We will have maintenance support through service level agreements with our Internal Fleet Service and relevant manufacturers to repair or replace communications equipment. The following means of communication will be available throughout the winter period:
• Telecommunications – landline, mobile GSM phone and fax • Airwave • Exactrack web-based GPS tracking showing vehicle location • Email with a dedicated winter email address • Websites and social media utilising both Traffic Scotland and Amey SE specific • Variable Message signs – via Traffic Scotland • Hidden Message signs
2.6.2 Winter Service Patrol vehicles shall use an encrypted digital radio communications system, “Airwave”. Amey will utilise this equipment as a dedicated communication system between Winter Service Patrol drivers, the Traffic Scotland Control Centre, the Winter Service Duty Officer and the Police. All Winter Service Patrols will also have mobile phones with hands free operation.

2.7. Training for Managers and Other Staff
2.7.1. Details of previous training The proposed Winter Service Manager, WSDO’s, DOM’s will have attended training courses covering basic road meteorology and the interpretation of weather forecasts prior to inclusion on the rota and this training will be refreshed when required. All operatives performing Front Line and Reserve Winter Service operations will hold an appropriate Class C LGV driving license, and be trained and experienced in Winter Maintenance operations.
2.7.2. Details of proposed training The Winter Service Manager, WSDO’s, DOM’s and CRO’s will attend and be certified on refresher courses provided by The Met Office and Vaisala every couple of years. An annual pre-winter internal briefing session will also be held in September.
All operatives performing Front Line and Reserve Winter Service Operations will be trained and assessed to meet the requirements of the Winter Maintenance City & Guilds Qualification. Winter Treatment on specific routes will be carried out by trained operatives from our strategic partner, Scottish Borders Council (SBC). Amey will provide spreading equipment for these routes, ensuring consistent communication, including data links with our OCCR, on spreading, location and weather conditions. Our partnership with SBC will provide local knowledge and added resilience on Critical sections of the Unit. Our WSDO’s will assign the resource for Winter Service operations in our Capacity Planner (SAP Planning Board) giving it the highest priority to ensure operative availability for frontline and reserve duties. We will generate a roster that ensures of a base resource at all times, for inclusion in the WSP. Our WSM will ensure operative familiarisation with the Winter Service routes and plant prior to 1st October each year, recording this in our Management System.

Weather Forecasting
3.1. Purpose The purpose is to provide accurate information for interpretation by our WSDO’s enabling them to plan the winter maintenance operations for the following 24 hour period. WSDOs also have 24/7 access to the Met Desk Forecaster for advice or updated information, providing a proactive approach to winter service. Consent has been granted previously for the appointment of Expert Weather forecaster and the CRWIS provided.
3.2. Methodology
Amey will obtain the expert weather forecasting service (EWFS) from the Met Desk who will utilise information from the existing road sensor network, to give detailed forecasts for each climatic domain, using information from Scottish Weather Radar and thermal mapping to inform on existing and anticipated conditions. Weather forecasts will be based on 8 domains and be provided from 1 October to 15 May (inclusive), and will be delivered every day by 1300hrs via the web-based Computerised Road Weather Information System (CRWIS), providing:
2 – 5 day forecast A general area forecast per day, for the 4 days following the day of issue of the 24hr forecast information.
24 Hour Forecast Domain specific forecasts, giving a general summary of the weather anticipated from 12:00 midday to 12:00 midday the following day. The main features of the forecasts are:-
Readiness colour - • Green No snow or ice expected • Amber Risk of snow and/or ice • Red Snow, ice or drifting snow is expected
Hazards – This section gives detail on the weather conditions such as ice, hoar frost, snow (cms), fog, wind and rain, which give rise to the “readiness colour”.
Temperatures – Minimum road surface temperature and time at or below freezing. Severe Weather Warnings This service is provided throughout the year. The early warning weather alert provides information regarding heavy snow, high winds and / or heavy rainfall.
24 hour Consultancy Service This facility is used if there are any doubts about the forecasts or when conditions change significantly. Confirmation of updates will be made by telephone to the WSDO if
Winter Service Plan
Rev: 02 Date: Sept 19 Ref: SEUNIT SOLUT-Winterplan-PL-025
Page 15 of 217

the forecast has changed significantly. The Forecaster will also be available to the WSDO to discuss any matters of concern or to clarify low confidence forecasts.
The consent of the Scottish Ministers, in writing, will be sought prior to appointing the Expert Weather Forecaster and the Computerised Road Weather Information System provider.
3.2.1. Climatic domains Given the extent of the Network we will use Domain forecasting and there will be 8 Climatic Domains listed below with the station that the forecast will be taken from (shown in Fig 1):

1 A7 Terrona
2 A68 Soutra
3 A1 Grantshouse
4 A720 Swanston
5 A702 Abington
6 M8 Whitburn
7 M80 Haggs
8 M90 Halbeath
3.2.2. Weather radar The WSDO will have access to a web-based Weather Radar facility provided by the Met Desk, 24 hours a day, seven days a week, throughout the winter season to supplement forecast information. The Radar will help to improve the accuracy of assessing the timing, nature and intensity of precipitation, particularly snowfall. 3.2.3. Ice sensors and weather forecast sites Ice Sensors located on or close to the Network will be polled on a regular frequency of 1 hour between 15th May and 1st October; and at 20 minute intervals between 1st October and 15th May inclusive. All data will be collected by the Ice Prediction System’s Master Station, accessed by the WSDO via a portable computer. Weather forecast sensors have added functionality to allow the Met Desk to model the temperature characteristics of the road pavement and can be accessed directly by the Met Desk to assist in producing road-specific weather forecasts. List of stations can be found in Annex WSP 6.

3.2.4. Thermal mapping Thermal maps comprise digitised thermal fingerprints graphically representing variations in road surface temperatures along a route. By combining thermal map and forecast data, route maps can be produced indicating forecast minimum road surface temperatures along each route. Digitised thermal mapping provides another useful tool for staff to supplement forecast data and local knowledge thereby aiding the decision making process regarding winter maintenance action. The maps can also be used to select suitable locations for additional outstations. For effective use of thermal mapping, the digital map coverage of the Network must be maintained in a complete and up to date state. Where considered appropriate, recommendations on updating of thermal mapping will be made to the Scottish Ministers. This mapping has not been updated since the 2G Contract.

3.3 Computer Systems The computerised road weather information system (CRWIS) will be provided by Vaisala. It will obtain, interpret and display the following, in a manner that predicts trends in weather and road conditions:
• Road sensor data (forecast & actual)
• Thermal maps
• Weather data from the Met Desk • Weather Camera images • An automatic alarm has been incorporated, which activates when a road sensor
falls to +1 degree centigrade. This alarm will be monitored from the Control Room but also operates on the lap top computer used by the WSDO.
• Frontline Winter Service Plant sensor data (air, RST and spread rates)
In the event of power failure in the Control Room, non-electrical means of heat and light will be utilised pending the switching on of mobile generators from the depot emergency vehicle. Manual records will be maintained and transferred into electronic records on the restoration of the power supply. In the event of communications failure, mobile phones will be used to maintain contact with vehicle drivers, police, Vaisala and the Met Office. Vaisala will monitor the CRWIS for Amey in this situation. In the unlikely event that the CRWIS fails for any reason then the WSDO will contact the 24 hour CRWIS helpdesk and / or the Met Desk 24 hour consultancy service for assistance, until the system is restored.

4/3 – Water Runoff Areas
Each area must be monitored effectively. For both frost susceptible and known surface water run off locations, the ability to monitor and receive up-to-date road surface temperatures and states is critical. The Patrols on the A702 and the A68 at Soutra will be using a DSP310 Mobile Condition Weather Stations which will give live feed into the Vaisala Navigator system. This will allow these areas to be monitored with increased information live to the WSDO. The M8 patrol vehicle will also be fitted with an Exactrac sensor provided by Transport Scotland.
In addition to the Winter Service Patrols detailed in Section 5 of this document, the WSDO has the authority to instruct the mobilisation of any front-line winter constructional plant to patrol any part of the Network at any time. This action may be necessary to enable the WSDO to receive accurate real time visual information such as road surface state observations, surface water run-off and precipitation type/intensity. This information, combined with data within the CRWIS and Weather Radar allows the WSDO to monitor affected areas along with other areas on the Network and to make appropriate treatment planning decisions.

Decision Making
5.1. Role of the Winter Service Manager
The role of the WSM is strategic, and he has ultimate responsibility for the provision of the Winter Service. The Winter Service Duty Officer is delegated the responsibility of producing the daily winter maintenance action plan in conjunction with the treatment matrices shown in Appendix A. The WSDO then informs the WSM of the proposals. Where possible the proposal on the rates of spread of de-icing material, the time of commencement of the routes and the routes to be covered will be made by the WSDO before 14:00 hours. The Winter Service Manager will be available at all times to enable the WSDO to seek advice regarding any aspect of the Winter Service. Full use will be made of the Met Desk and CRWIS to determine the optimum time to commence precautionary treatments, to ensure that these are completed within two hours of commencement and in advance of sub- zero road surface temperatures.
5.2. Role of the Winter Service Duty Officer The WSDO will have at his disposal robust procedures, detailed weather forecast information, actual road condition information including information from mobile surface temperature sensors and a communication system to the Winter Service Patrols and operations teams across the Network.
Following receipt of the daily Winter Service action plan, the WSDO will contact all Winter Service drivers informing each of the decision and timing of any treatment in the forthcoming 24hr period. They will also upload the Daily Action Plan to the CMS.
5.2.1 Winter Service Patrol Mobilisation. Amey will carry out Winter Service Patrols from 1 November to 31 March inclusive on those sections of Trunk Roads identified in Schedule 7 Part 2, annex 7.2/C of the Project and further detailed in Appendix B of this plan The requirement for Winter Service Patrols is initially determined by the Winter Service Duty Officer on receipt of the Met Office daily forecast and after this has been analysed. From 1st November to 31st March, where the forecast minimum road surface temperature is equal to or less than +3°C, for the climatic domain associated with the Patrol Routes listed in Section 8 of this Plan, the WSDO will instruct Winter Service Patrols on the daily action plan. In these instances the WSDO’s are then responsible for mobilisation of the required resources. Category A Patrols will operate out with the time specified in paragraph 2.7.9 when forecasts indicates snow and ice conditions causing an increased risk of delays and disruption to road users.
On occasions the forecast may initially predict road surface temperatures to be above +3°C, but a subsequent forecast update may predict road surface temperatures to drop to or below +3°C. Where such an update is received by the WSDO, Winter Service Patrols will be mobilised directly by the WSDO.

5.2.2 Proposals for Precautionary and Additional De-icing Treatments when Low
Confidence Forecasts shall be issued for Variable Road and Weather Conditions The minimum requirements for de-icing material spread rates for precautionary treatment shall be as provided in Tables 1, 2 and 3 of Appendix A.
When low confidence weather forecasts are issued by the Met Office, and during marginal conditions, the WSDO’s will monitor conditions using the CRWIS. Amey’s decision making process accounts for low confidence forecasts received and the WSDO will follow this process when considering the original and updated forecasts.
During marginal conditions the WSDO will always take a conservative approach. It is essential that during these periods the WSDO receives reports and information from the Winter Service Patrols. The WSDO shall instruct patrols to monitor conditions and, if necessary, initiate immediate precautionary treatments in accordance with the proposed de-icing material spread rates detailed in Table 2 of Appendix A.
Any high-risk areas will be monitored closely by the Winter Patrols and all decisions to grit will take these areas into account and decide treatment based on the worst locations. This will allow roads to remain as safe as possible on marginal nights. Patrol; drivers will call the WSDO during his patrol to report the conditions of the high-risk areas. 5.2.3 Proposals for Monitoring the Effectiveness of De-icing Materials Following any precautionary treatment, the WSDO will continue to monitor the weather forecasts and the actual weather conditions including but not limited to reports from Winter Service Patrols and data from the CRWIS. This information will be used to assess the effectiveness of the treatment and to instruct further treatment when considered necessary; in consideration of forecast conditions.
This is particularly important in situations where precipitation is forecast or has occurred resulting in a potential dilution of the amount of salt present and inherent reduction in the effectiveness of the treatment.
The presence and concentration of salt solution can be detected by Forecast and Road Sensors and displayed within the CRWIS as ‘Actual Freezing Temperature’. Actual Freezing Temperature is the theoretical Road Surface Temperature at which ice will form and the salt solution will cease to be effective. The detection of residual salt through the CRWIS, however, depends upon the salt being in solution. Where there is any doubt as to the ongoing effectiveness of any treatment undertaken, due to either dilution of salt from precipitation, or uncertainty of residual salt levels, the WSDO will err on the side of caution and will instruct further action to be undertaken. We also will fit 2 mobile weather stations to the patrol vehicles covering the A68 Soutra and the A702 to allow us to monitor the conditions on these routes. If required these vehicles will be redeployed to other areas if they are experiencing poorer conditions.

The Winter Service Manager, the Scottish Ministers and Traffic Scotland Control Centre will be informed immediately by telephone, and in writing within 12 hours, of any decision to close a road, or of other major problems encountered within the Network due to winter weather conditions. The Police will notify the other Emergency Services of any road closures and in liaison with Traffic Scotland will arrange for the provision of advance warning signs and/or activate variable message signs or arrange media coverage where appropriate.
The WSDO will also notify the local Roads Authorities of any relevant road closures. The WSDO shall immediately inform Traffic Scotland Control Centre and the Scottish Ministers of the reopening of the road. There are dedicated Traffic Management signs for areas on the M8 and M9 slip roads should these roads need to be closed.

During periods of severe weather, the WSDO will liaise and update the adjacent Trunk Road Operating Companies regarding the current status of the prevailing weather conditions and Amey’s winter service operations.
6.6 Network Rail
As there are no railway level crossings, liaison with Network Rail will not be appropriate.
6.7 Communication We will ensure we communicate with all parties who have an input to the Winter Service. Our WSM will work with our Media and Communications Officer (MCO) to develop our Communication Plan which will be vital for the effective management of Winter Services. The WSP will include contact details for relevant stakeholders and communication arrangements, including those for notification of events such as road closures. Our MCO will work with our WSM and Press Transport Scotland (PTS) to develop an annual Winter Service publicity leaflet. In collaboration with PTS and other Operating Companies, we will undertake an annual winter service media relations and communications programme, promoting our winter-readiness and safe driving messages. Each day the WSDO will use Social media to update the public of any treatments planned or completed on the Network. During any severe weather period or incident the WSDO will notify the WSM who will deal with all Social Media notification to allow the WSDO to concentrate on ensuring the roads are free flowing.

Treatment Routes
10.1 Precautionary treatment routes, including sections shared with Scottish Minister’ s Trunk Road North East, North West and South West Units including DBFO’s and other adjacent road authorities;
The precautionary treatment routes listed in appendix C have been separated into distinct categories and also identify which routes are operated by our partner SBC: Carriageway precautionary treatments not exceeding 20g/m² Carriageway precautionary treatments not exceeding 40g/m²
Sections of footways, footbridges and cycleways. All precautionary treatment routes have been designed to enable completion of treatment routes, including contiguous laybys but excluding remote laybys, within two hours of commencement of the treatment. Precautionary treatment routes will mobilise, commence and complete before snow and ice conditions are forecast to occur. Immediate responses for unplanned treatments will mobilise and commence within one hour of the WSDO’s instruction. All routes will be driven prior to the winter season to allow drivers to be familiar with them.
The Kincardine and Clackmannanshire Bridges will be treated with Potassium Acetate with a combination vehicle. This will allow a continuous route to be followed and not stand alone treatment. De-icing vehicles and drivers will be assigned to specific routes to promote route ownership and knowledge, but all drivers will have a basic knowledge of every precautionary treatment route and will be capable of undertaking any such route if necessary.
Precautionary treatment spread rates, specified by the WSDO on the daily action plan, will be in accordance with Table 2 of appendix A of this document.
Additional care will be taken at roadworks, where in addition to areas currently being trafficked, all other areas, including contraflows, likely to be opened to traffic are treated. Traffic management equipment, including cones and cylinders, may disrupt distribution of salt, and liaison with engineering staff responsible for roadwork sites is essential if complete and robust treatment is to be ensured. Where more extensive traffic management measures prevent adequate precautionary treatment application, separate treatment will be carried out in advance of the carriageway being re-opened to traffic.
No Winter Constructional Plant will be driven above the legal speed limit at any time or at a speed greater than 40mph during precautionary treatment operations on de-restricted dual carriageways or motorways. On single carriageway roads de-icing material will be spread across the full width of the road in a single pass with the Winter Constructional Plant travelling at a speed no greater than 30mph.

10.2 Contingency plans for alternative access to precautionary treatment routes where normal access is prevented due to weather related or other incidents. Amey have put in place arrangements and resources which will ensure that carriageway precautionary treatments will be provided for sections of the Network where normal access is prevented due to weather or other related incidents. These contingency arrangements provide resources for precautionary treatments using an alternative access. Front Line Winter Constructional Plant will carry out treatment from an alternative access, should, for whatever reason, precautionary treatment not be able to be carried out in accordance with the Route Cards shown in WSP 2 of Appendix D.
For the majority of the Network there are alternative routes available to enable treatment routes to be completed by the de-icing vehicle allocated to that particular route. Network areas that Amey consider are most at risk from restricted access, due to weather or other related incidents, are those with no local suitable alternative routes. The main one on the Network would be the south end of the A1 and the south end of the A68 and A7 as the alternative access is possible with a long diversion.
10.3 Locations of De-icing Material Loading and Mixing Points.
De-icing materials will be stored in Amey Depots at Bilston Glen, Burghmuir and Rosyth Depots as well as Scottish Borders Council (Strategic Partner) Depots in Newton St Boswells, Duns, Kelso, Peebles, Lauder and Hawick. All of which will be the loading points for the Project.
10.4 Details of Cycling Facilities in Urban Areas. There are presently no designated cycling facilities within urban areas contained within the Network area.
Snow and Ice Clearance
11.1 Snow Clearing 11.1.1 Description of Arrangements and Resources for Snowfall Amey will, so far as is reasonably practicable, ensure sufficient resources are available to prevent snow or ice from remaining on the Network ,and put into place specific arrangements to ensure that these resources will be mobilised. The WSDO, in discussion with the Winter Service Manager, will determine, from the 2-5 day weather forecast, the requirements to mobilise additional resources and fit ploughs. Winter Service shifts and the preparation of de-icing and ploughing equipment will be instructed by the WSDO, subject to prior approval by the WSM. All Front Line, Reserve and Additional Winter Constructional Plant, apart from snow blowers, will be equipped with snow ploughs to effectively clear ice and snow. Non-

salting vehicles fitted with ploughs, will also be mobilised to aid echelon ploughing on dual carriageways and motorways. We will use a Schmidt KL-V snow plough on the A1 south of Haddington, offering enhanced clearing capability at central reserve crossover at-grade right turns. We have a fast trac machine from Ritchie’s will be able to operate Transport Scotland’s Raiko Icebreaker. Conditions and de-icing spread rates for snow and ice clearance of carriageways are detailed in Appendix A Table 4 with Snow Clearance requirements shown in Appendix A Table 5. Each depot will also have a stock of Ecothaw or Safecote which can be used instead of or mixed with Brine that will allow more extreme temperatures to be treated. The table in para 5.2.3 shows what temperatures these materials are suitable for. Details of Constructional Winter Plant are provided in Section 12 of this document and Annex WSP 5. The clearance procedure for dual carriageways and motorways will be echelon ploughing (2 or more vehicles moving in the same direction, one behind each other on different lanes). Ploughing techniques to be adopted are shown in Figure 11/1 below.
Ploughing Techniques
2 Lane Dual Carriageway Roads without Hardshoulders:
The method of clearance, on both carriageways, should be:
(a) plough the left hand lane to the verge;
(b) plough the right hand lane to the central reservation
2 Lane Dual Carriageway Roads with Hardshoulders:
The method of clearance, on both carriageways, should be:
(a) plough the left hand lane to the Hardshoulder;
(b) plough the right hand lane to the central reservation.;
(c) plough the Hardshoulder to the verge
3 Lane Dual Carriageway Roads without Hardshoulders:
The method of clearance, on both carriageways, shall be:
(a) plough the centre lane to the left hand lane;
(b) plough the left hand lane to the verge;
(c) plough the right hand lane to the central reservation

Where hard packed snow and ice not exceeding 20mm thick has formed, and the air temperature is above minus 5°C, removal will be achieved by successive spreading of de-icing material. Below minus 5°C or where the snow or ice is more than 20mm thick, a single sized abrasive aggregate of particle size of 6mm, or 5mm sharp sand and having low fines content will be added to the de- icing material on a 1:1 ratio. Reversion to the use of de-icing material only will be made as soon as possible. Abrasive aggregates will be considered as a supplement on footway sections where de-icing material alone would provide an unacceptably slippery surface. During prolonged periods of snowfall at locations where the use of salt for de- icing is prohibited, ploughing will be continuous followed by repeated applications of de-icing chemical. If snow becomes hard packed, consideration will be given to applying 5mm sharp sand to aid traction while snow clearing operations are being carried out. Ploughing routes will mirror the precautionary treatment routes and this activity will be carried out utilising the Echelon Ploughing technique.
11.1.2 Road Closure Procedure including use of Snow Gates
The Police will issue instructions to Amey to assist in road closures. When the Police, in consultation with the WSDO, consider that weather conditions have made a road unsafe to vehicular traffic, arrangements will be made with the Police to close the road. There are currently only two set of snow gates within the Network at either end of Soutra hill on the A68.
Having decided on the need to close a road, the Police will issue instructions to close the road. This decision will normally be relayed by the Police to the WSDO using a dedicated contact number. Amey will liaise, and co-operate, with the Police to man each end of the closure, if applicable, until a search of the section of road affected has been undertaken to ensure that no vehicles or pedestrians are trapped within the lengths of closure.
When a road is required to be closed, the WSDO will immediately notify the Traffic Scotland Control Centre by telephone. A written report will be submitted to the Scottish Ministers within 12 hours (or if outside of normal working hours then the morning of the next working day) of the Police instructing road closure.
The Police will normally notify the other Emergency Services of any road closures and will arrange for the provision of advance warning signs and/or will activate fixed or variable message signs where appropriate. The WSDO will also notify the adjoining Local Authorities and Operating Companies of any relevant closures.
Once it has been ascertained that no-one has been trapped within the closure length, the closure will be secured and all Amey personnel withdrawn except those involved in the clearance of snow. When it is considered safe, the Police will request Amey to re-open the road. The WSDO will immediately inform Traffic Scotland and the Scottish Ministers of the reopening of the road.

11.1.3 Prolonged Snowfall Strategy During prolonged periods of snowfall, ploughing will be continuous from the onset of snow to prevent a build-up of snow and compaction by traffic. Ploughing will continue until the Network is clear of snow and ice. Reserve and Additional Winter Constructional Plant will be used, as necessary, to supplement Front Line Winter Constructional Plant in snow conditions. The WSDO will liaise with Scottish Ministers Multi Agency Response Team (MART) throughout this period ensuring the provision of a coordinated response. When planning and carrying out snow clearance, Amey will pay particular attention to the layout of the carriageway in terms of the overall number of lanes and the location of entrance and exit slip lanes. Snow clearance of slip roads will be co-ordinated with main carriageway clearance, and a clear path kept open between those entry and exit points where frequent lane changes are necessary. For dual carriageways and wide single carriageway roads, echelon ploughing will be carried out utilising two snow plough vehicles moving in the same direction, one behind the other in adjacent lanes.
Irregular windrows caused by ploughing passes, especially those that weave from one lane to another are dangerous, and will be avoided, as they may tempt drivers to overtake by squeezing into the partly cleared lane. Lanes will be completely cleared, such that any windrows of snow remaining form a smooth and continuous line with no sudden encroachments into the cleared path. Clearance of snow from contiguous and remote laybys will be carried out once the main carriageway, junction areas and crossovers have been cleared of snow. Care will be taken to avoid damage to road surfaces, road studs, roadside furniture and structures. At roadworks, traffic management equipment must not be disrupted. An accumulation of ploughed snow creating a ramp adjacent to safety fences and concrete barriers will be avoided. Where conventional ploughing or snow ploughing is not possible, for example:
• in exceptional circumstances when the snow on the road is deep and cannot be removed by conventional ploughing or snow blowing
• when de-icing treatment over packed snow is likely to provide an unacceptable surface, or
• when the traffic is insufficient to disperse the snow, Amey will lift, remove and dispose of snow and ice and/or utilise snow blowers, with the snow being directed onto adjacent land (where Amey has obtained the prior agreement of the landowner and the Scottish Environmental Protection Agency). Such operations will be followed by de-icing treatment.
When snowploughing or snow blowing operations are undertaken care will be taken that snow does not build up across:
railway tracks or against gates, bridges, parapets, fences and safety fences, walls and
other boundaries Speeds of ploughing vehicles will be regulated, particularly at features such as underbridges where snow could be thrown over the bridge parapet, and adjacent to the central reserve where snow could be pushed into the opposing carriageway. When ploughing snow, other vehicles will not be overtaken unless stationary.

We recognise that additional resources will be required for echelon ploughing in snow conditions. Winter Service operations will accord the highest priority and additional operatives will be rostered to crew additional shifts. Ploughing routes mirror our precautionary treatment routes are shown in Appendix D. 11.1.4 Arrangements for Safe Clearance of Snow and Ice from Wide Single Carriageways. When clearing wide single carriageway roads, particularly those having more than two lanes, snow clearance operations must avoid the build-up of snow in the centre of the road. The detail of the ploughing strategy to be adopted is shown in Figure 10/1. 11.1.5 Arrangements for Safe Clearance of Snow or Ice Adjacent to Vertical Concrete Barriers.
Echelon ploughing operations will be coordinated to achieve clearance in one pass of at least all running lanes initially to the hard shoulder and then subsequently to the verge. An accumulation of ploughed snow creating a ramp adjacent to vertical concrete barriers will be avoided.
11.1.6 Treatment Strategy for Footways, Footpaths and Cycle Facilities to be Detailed Including Location of Salt Bins where Applicable (A) All Footways and footbridges shall be cleared of all snow and ice by 08:00 or within
two hours of snow ceasing to fall during the period 06:00 to 18:00 hours. (B) Cycling facilities shall be cleared of all snow and ice by 17:00 hours the following
weekday (if the following day is a Saturday or Sunday then the area shall be cleared on the next Monday).
A list of Salt bins and self-help heaps is located in section 15. For reactive snow and ice clearance of all categories of footways, footbridges and cycleways the following spread rates will apply: During snow clearance 20g/m2
Following clearance of ice and snow 20g/m2
11.1.7 Treatment of Freezing Rain Freezing rain will be dealt with in line with the best practice below.
Guidance on dealing with ‘Freezing Rain’
This advice has been prepared to assist service providers in developing procedures for taking the necessary actions both in advance of and during an occurrence of freezing rain. The advice is not intended to prescriptively define how freezing rain should be dealt with, as this is an issue for the individual service provider and is dependent on local circumstances.
Winter Service Plan

It is recognised that the prediction of freezing rain is difficult and the action necessary to deal with it is problematic but service providers need to consider and plan actions to be taken when such events occur. It is important that all details of the actions intended for dealing with the phenomenon of freezing rain are documented in Winter Service Plans. Considering the limits in the effectiveness of treatments in dealing with freezing rain it is essential that all practical measures be implemented to provide warning to road users of the hazardous conditions. Measures for dealing with freezing rain fall into three main areas: advance planning, operational arrangements, and hazard mitigation. These measures are considered in further detail as follows: Advance Planning Advance planning includes consideration of the potential impact of freezing rain and development of contingency arrangements to mitigate the effects. These contingency arrangements should be documented in the Winter Service Plan. Other aspects of advance planning include training and exercises. Specific measures that should be considered include: Prior to the commencement of the winter season, agreement should be reached with the local police authorities and, where applicable, the Regional Control Centres (RCCs) on procedures for dealing with occurrences of freezing rain and any incidents that may occur during or following such conditions. Outline operational arrangements should be developed and documented within the Winter Service Plan. Although the adverse effects of freezing rain can impact across any part of the network particular consideration should be given to those parts where the impact may be more significant such as on gradients or difficult alignments. Operational Arrangements Operational arrangements should include details of treatment regimes. In general, freezing rain should be treated in a similar manner to snow, i.e. treatment in advance of and during the event and then treatment following as required. Specific measures that should be considered include: If the condition of freezing rain is anticipated, contact with the Police, RCC, adjoining service providers and Local Authorities is to be made to acquaint them of the possibility and the proposed action. Prior to the arrival of the freezing rain a pre-treatment is to be made in the same manner as would be made prior to snow falling. Constant monitoring of the situation is to be made and an additional treatment is to be carried out immediately the rain commences and continued until such time that the rain has ceased or the temperature of the road has risen above freezing. Freezing rain usually occurs along the line of an incoming warm front. If possible, to ensure maximum effectiveness of the salt, the advance treatment should be made in the same direction and immediately in advance of the weather front. Use should be made of weather radar where available, to help determine the timing of treatment. Consideration should be given to stationing vehicles at the point on the route where the weather front will first hit in order that timely treatments can be undertaken. Some salt will inevitably be lost during and following treatment and therefore careful consideration needs to be given to the requirement for continued successive treatments. Hazard Mitigation The very nature of freezing rain means that treatments will have virtually no effect initially and ice will form on the carriageway. Mitigation of the hazard is therefore a

significant aspect of the actions taken in response to freezing rain. The main action is to inform road users of the hazard but more pro-active measures might be required. For example, consideration should be given to closing the road as the rain arrives and holding the traffic (rather than diverting) until such times as it is deemed safe to proceed. Such considerations will need to be made on a local basis taking into account local circumstances. Specific measures that should be considered include: Where available fixed or mobile Variable Message Signs should be used to warn road users of the hazard. The existing established procedures for requesting VMS settings to be made should be followed well in advance. The following legend is currently the most appropriate for use in these circumstances:
SKID RISK SLOW DOWN
Press officer should be contacted in order that the local media can be advised as necessary. Where available, use of variable mandatory speed limits should be considered. This will require arrangements and protocols to be established with the appropriate Police Control Office (PCO) or RCC as part of the advance planning procedures. Consideration should be given to the use of rolling blocks and convoy arrangements to either hold or slow traffic down both just prior to and during the event. This will require arrangements and protocols to be established with the appropriate police authorities or RCC Operations Managers as part of the advance planning procedures. In addition to the arrangements made in respect of advance planning, operational procedures and hazard mitigation it will be necessary to consider the arrangements to be implemented should any incidents occur as a result of the freezing rain. This may, for example, include liaison with PCOs or RCCs to provide advance warning to recovery companies. Procedures for giving such advance warning would need to be established in advance with PCOs and RCCs and documented within the Winter Service Plan.

De-Icing Materials
Details Salt used for de-icing, including that used for the manufacturing of brine used in pre-wetting will be 6.3mm grading particle size and comply with the following:
(i) 6.3mm grading particle size to BS 3247:1991 treated with an anti-caking agent,
(ii) Salt storage areas will be maintained to ensure the following:
Salt is stored in dry conditions, such that moisture content does not exceed 4%.
No sheer faces left on stockpiles.
Salt stockpiles do not become contaminated. Salt stockpiles or adjacent operations do not affect the environment.
(iii) Moisture content at existing salt stocks will be measured at monthly intervals throughout each Winter Period. The results will be recorded on an electronic data base which will be available for access at any time by the Director and PAG. Should the moisture content of salt used for de-icing exceed 4%, spread rates will be increased by 100% for spread rates up to and including 20gm/m2. Within 10 days of new salt deliveries, salt will be tested in accordance with BS 812 at a UKAS accredited laboratory and results recorded to ascertain:
Moisture content (1 test per 500 tonnes)
Particle size distribution (1 test per 500 tonnes)
Chloride content (1 test per 1500 tonnes)
Soluble sulphate compounds (1 test per 1500 tonnes)
(iv) Amey has developed a long standing agreement with national de-icing material suppliers Cleveland potash, Salt Union Ltd and Salt Sales Co.
(v) A list of stock can be found in Annex WSP 3
(vi) Our salt will be supplied by Cleveland Potash. We have an agreement for an automatic restocking to ensure that adequate quantities of salt are always available locally is in place.
(vii) All brine saturators will have digital readouts of salt concentration and in addition testing using a refractometer will be done to confirm the electronic readout.
Alternative De-Icing Material. A list of alternative materials can be found in Annex WSP 3 of Appendix D. This includes Potassium Acetate, Magnesium Chloride and Safecote or Ecothaw.

The decision to undertake precautionary treatments should, if appropriate, be adjusted to take account of residual salt or surface moisture.
A. Particular attention should be given to any possibility of water running across carriageways and such locations should be monitored and treated as required.
B. When a weather warning contains reference to expected hoarfrost considerable deposits of frost are likely to occur and close monitoring will be required. Particular attention should be given to the timing of precautionary treatments due to the possibility that salt deposited on a dry road may be dispersed before it can become effective.
C. Under these circumstances rain will freeze on contact with running surfaces and full pre- treatment should be provided even on dry roads. This is a most serious condition and should be monitored closely and continuously throughout the danger period.
